Belgrade to Budapest transfer
About 380 km and four hours including the border. From your address in Belgrade to your hotel in Budapest or the terminal at Ferenc Liszt Airport, same car and same driver all the way.
Why people drive to Budapest
Mostly for flights. Ferenc Liszt has low-cost and long-haul connections Belgrade doesn't, so it often makes sense to be driven to the terminal and collected on the way back. Others go for meetings, Sziget, concerts at the Arena, or simply a weekend. For a family or two colleagues the car works out more comfortable than the bus and takes the same time.
The route is the E-75 motorway to the Horgoš border, then the Hungarian M5 to Budapest. The driver knows when which crossing is busy and uses Kelebija if needed. At the border you only get out if the officer asks. After the border we stop for coffee wherever you like.
What to bring
Your passport, and the children's documents. If a child travels with one parent, bring the other parent's consent; the Hungarian border sometimes asks. We pay the Hungarian motorway vignette, it's in the price.
